BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh women's golf team makes its third visit to the Naval Academy Golf Club this season as the Mountain Hawks prepare for the two-day, 54-hole Patriot League Championship,  hosted by Navy beginning Saturday.
 
The six Patriot League institutions will compete on the par 72, 6,085 course at the Naval Academy Golf Club. Action begins at 8:30 a.m. both Saturday and Sunday with teams playing 36 holes Saturday with the final 18 set for Sunday.
 
This marks the sixth year of the Patriot League Women's Golf Championship. Lehigh won the inaugural championship in 2013 and finished third last year at Saucon Valley Country Club.
 
The Patriot League team champion will earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Women's Golf Regionals. Richmond is the two-time defending team champion. Four different schools (Lehigh, Bucknell, Boston U. and Richmond) have won the team title in the first five championship events.
 
Junior Reagan Jahn will lead Lehigh's six-player entry. Jahn is a two-time second team All-Patriot League performer, was Lehigh's top finisher in all three of its spring tournaments.
 
Lehigh's lone senior, Megan Moylan, will occupy the No. 2 position in this, her fourth league championship. Moylan finished 19th last year and finished 14th as a freshman last time Navy hosted the championship.
 
Sophomore Minuette Laessig will play in the No. 3 position. Laessig shared Rookie of the Year honors with Jackie Gonzalez of Holy Cross after a 16th place finish last year.
 
Lehigh's two freshmen: Angela Ding and Alexis Browne will man the No. 4 and No. 5 positions, while sophomore Rebecca Markunas will compete at No. 6. Markunas tied for 29th in last year's championship.
 
In its last action before the championship, Lehigh finished seventh out of nine teams at Navy's Spring Invitational, April 6-7. Jahn led the way for the Mountain Hawks, finishing fourth at 158 (80-78) on a weekend were course conditions made scoring tough for all players.
 
The Mountain Hawks also competed in Navy's Fall Invitational, finishing third out of 12 teams in September.
 
For Saturday's first two rounds, Lehigh will be paired with Holy Cross and Boston University. Players will tee off from the 10th hole at 8:30 a.m. for round one and off the first hole for round two.
